izomerkkel
Izomerkkel is a term used in speculative chemistry to describe a class of isomeric states in rigid molecular networks where the connectivity of ring systems can rearrange without changing the overall chemical formula. The concept sits between classical structural isomerism and dynamic conformations, emphasizing topological changes that preserve stoichiometry while altering properties such as lattice symmetry, optical behavior, and reactivity.
The name izomerkkel combines a general reference to isomerism with a fictional suffix, reflecting its origin
Izomerkkel states are typically described as two broad subtypes: topological izomerkkel, where ring-to-ring connections reconfigure while
Interconversion and properties
Interconversion between izomerkkel forms is imagined to proceed via a concerted rearrangement, sometimes called the Merkel
In speculative scenarios, izomerkkel states are proposed as molecular switches for data storage, smart materials with
